Teen Advisory Board Meeting (grades 6-12)

Tuesday, September 8, 2015 - 5:00pm

Interested in being a part of the TAB? We plan Teen programming, decorate the Loft, generate content for the website and help out with events while eating pizza and earning service hours! We meet in the Activity Room on the second Tuesday of nearly every month for an hour. Attendance at every meeting is not required, but we do hope you come to as many as you can!

Join our weekly chess club and meet like-minded enthusiasts. Already on a chess team? Stop by and show us what you've got. For all skill levels. Chess sets and clocks will be provided.

Hackers (grades 4-12)

Monday, September 14, 2015 - 2:00pm

Youth Services Activity Room

It's not what you think! A hacker is someone who enjoys building, rebuilding, and modifying software; someone who enjoys testing limits and seeing what is possible. In this Hackers we will be tinkering with Arduino microcontrollers. Already familiar with Arduino? Try out our LittleBits Arduino Coding kit. All participants of the Hackers class will be eligible to check out Arduino Kits from the library.

This program is made possible by the generous donation from PotashCorp.

We meet at the Starbucks on Cherry and your first drink is on us. The first 7 registered teens to check in at the Youth Service desk get a free copy of the book. Heads up: This book has a suggested reading audience of 6-12th grade.

Want to know how the librarys 3D printer works? Interested in learning how to use CAD (computer aided design) software to create your own original 3D projects? Our class will start with a 3D printing demo on the librarys MakerBot printer and then well use Tinkercad to create our own 3D designs. This class will meet in the library's Interactive Classroom on the 2nd floor.
